“It seems to me that it is too early to talk about this now, we have only reached the level of one-to-one ratio, when the cost of living (and the minimum wage) are close, equal.
It was a long journey, I want to remind you that since the beginning of 2000 they have been in different speed modes, the cost of living has always outstripped the growth rate of the minimum wage.
The minimum wage started at 83.49 rubles.
Now, when the indicators have become equal, we need to make some kind of assessment of what to do next, ”the senator said.
In his opinion, now it is necessary to "move at a higher pace, first of all, the minimum wage."
“It would be true to move this process forward.
I would not refuse the indicators of the minimum wage.
All the same, when we are in a tripartite regime, I mean the government, the employer and the trade unions considered all the issues, the ratio of labor days and holidays.
Of course, the minimum wage is still a very serious indicator for the relationship between working people and those who are employers, ”concluded Ryazansky.
The first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Economic Policy, Industry, Innovative Development and Entrepreneurship Nikolai Arefiev expressed the opinion that the minimum wage (minimum wage) in Russia should be abandoned and focused on the cost of living.
